Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for the provision of timing for a communication network are disclosed. In particular, timing can be provided as a service to the communication network and the network slices operating thereon. This provision of timing as a service (TaaS) can enable the synchronization of operation of the various network components which in some instances can be physically placed at different locations while providing a desired functionality. According to embodiments, a timing slice is configured to provide the portion of timing resources that are associated with the delivery of timing to a slave device in an environment where multiple network slices are operating.
